Turkey announced a $6 billion bridge-and-roads project last year, but no contractors have said they want the job. Now, the project is being separated into two parts in hopes of getting more interest.

The General Directorate of Highways plans to offer the 1,275-meter bridge over the Bosporus and 90 kilometers of connecting roads as one project on April 5, ENR.com reports. After that, it will deal with 340 kilometers of highway.

The government is looking to set up a  "build-operate-transfer" arrangement, ENR said, but the bridge, which would be the third to connect Europe and Asia over the waterway is unlikely to draw as much traffic as the two existing spans because it is farther from population centers.
